Thanks for the replies . So it seems that its a grey area of the unknown. Also I guess it would be impossible for them to actually find out one of these digital nomads was holidaying or working within the country.

Maybe I will contact the consulate here in Australia and see if they have any clue as to what class you fall under. I guess since working for ones self that they can register a business as well there if required.

Also a tuff one if your traveling about seeing the country with a little bit of work in-between.

That's not really a tough one, because no country in the world will care if you do some work online on your holiday -- most travelers are checking work emails, etc.

What you're really asking is that you'd like to live here for a year. You can't do that in the U.S. if you're not an American, can't do it in Europe, and actually can only do it in a few places in the world. Cambodia has always drawn a number of people here because of the easy visa situation, which is still very easy. I'm sympathetic that you want to be here for a year (or more), and make a living online, and it would certainly be nice and convenient if that's possible. But it's not a tricky situation to see that if you are here on a 30 day, 3 month, or 6 month permit, and work online, you're fine.

If you want to be here, then come and get the 6 month extension of stay on the 30 day visa as mentioned. You can then do visa runs after that, decide to register a company, or any of the many other options.

Its not that I need to the make a living online whilst there . Its more that to relieve the boredom during rest time between bike riding trips there would be the opportunity to work. I don't really understand what a " Visa Run" is ? if it is as simple as leaving the country and re application before enter that works in perfectly with one of the rides I want to do into Vietnam. I guess its just a matter of pre planning and organising the dates correctly. I think a year is sufficient to cover what I want to do and actually have a holiday for the first time in six years .

Regarding the Tax would anybody know if there is a interlinking payment option much like the UK has with Australia where you can pay you tax in Cambodia and it is also classified in Australia. Here there are limits lol but basically all internationals don't really pay any tax whilst here apart from the GST and PAY tax. Also is there any information on tax brackets etc in Cambodia ?
